Все так и получается, как мы здесь неоднократно обсуждали - либо рейтинги резать, либо они никому вообще будут не нужны. Вопрос только сколько они еще будут резину тянуть
No matter what happens to the bond insurers, in the end, the rating agencies are finding their reputations badly hurt by their ratings, and their slowness to downgrade. A big criticism grows out of the fact that bond issuers who pay them more -- and subprime issuers were able in the past to pay more than state and local governments who issue muni bonds -- have gotten higher ratings.
"There is a feeling that the agencies have been making up the ratings as they do along and investors don't think the ratings mean anything," said John Atkins, fixed income analyst at IDEAGlobal.com. "People know think the whole thing has been a scam. It is as if you can get an 'AAA' rating by dropping a sack of cash on a desk."
